"One question at a time! It's quite simple though, you'll be fighting each opponent in a special arena of their choice. If you fall out of the arena, surrender, or die, then you lose and the next fighter in your group will have to step up. There are five fighters you have to beat, and most people choose to approach this with five fighters of their own...I must say, it's rather foolish of you to have chosen this trial with only three." She explains, shaking her head in disapproval.
"Oh, I'm not actually a fighter! I don't really have the build for it, I mostly provide support! I'm part cheerleader, part nurse!" Azalea speaks up, holding up two pompoms she got from seemingly nowhere and now wearing some kind of risqué nursing outfit. After one glance at her, you make sure to keep your gaze solidly on Baba, whose grin just grows before she cackles out a laugh.
"Oh no, I'm quite certain it's three. After all, someone else you know got here just a few days before you did." She corrects, before raising her hands up to cup her mouth and raising her voice. "You can come out now, Harum!" She shouts, and you look around wildly for the friend you hadn't seen in months. And there he is, descending from the stairway in all his glory, waving at you two!
"Harum! You finished up in Yunzabit?!" You ask enthusiastically, rushing over to him and outright wrapping him up in a bearhug to spin him around.
"Glad to see you again too, Honta! You can set me down though, haha." He says, embarrassed by the display. You set him down, to which he continues. "And yeah, I was able to get in and study a good bit about it. My work isn't completely finished, but I was getting a little bored being up there completely by myself, so I figured I'd cut you off here and maybe see if I could learn a thing or two about magic in the process." He explained, now walking back over to the more reserved Barbar to clap shoulders with him in greeting.
"How's that going?" You inquire, curious as to if he picked up the esoteric practice.
